(# 6) HORSE THIEF - This will be one of the last sons of Distinctive Pro that you'll see, as that great New York stallion died in 2005. This horse though still a maiden, raced exclusively in Stakes as a two-year-old, earning almost $64,000 with a pair of in the money finishes. This marks his first start as a three-year-old, first try on turf and also runs today with blinkers on. Think he'll come out and have his running shoes on.

(# 8) Mr. Zip - Took some money in debut on May 5. Race was six furlongs on the dirt, and he drew the 12 post. Broke well, chased a fast half, stayed on well until the last sixteenth. Miceli puts son of Rizzi on the grass today and adds the "hood". Expecting an "on the engine try.

(# 10) Triumphal - He has been freshened up by Violette after a pair of tries earlier this season at Aqueduct. Was well-bet in both and raced well without winning. He is also trying the grass for the first time and is another possible contender.

(# 9) High Stakes Poker - Ramsay homebred showed speed in trio of races last season, including one at this distance at Belmont late last September. Nice gate breeze on Jun 3 shows that he's ready to go.
